1. Monks of the Gaden monastery Jangtse in South India
The original monastery in Tibet was destroyed. The monks who could not flee were killed or put in prison. The monastery was re-established at Mundgod in South India. The flow of refugees from Tibet continues unabated even today, in addition, hundreds of poor children are dumped in the convent. No one is denied by the monks but there is a shortage of everything. The children must sleep on the ground in the already overcrowded rooms. Many children and refugees are sick.
Urgent help is needed for living, health and construction.
There is also need for sponsors for (child) monks who need extra help to survive:

The Tara Foundation has set up fund raising for the benefit of the beautifull 1.20m high statue of  Tara for the new prayer hall. (More information is to be found on our our e-flyer of Action 11/17/2011. Click here.)

2. Nuns in Khachoe Ghakyil Ling nunnery in Nepal
In this monastery, near Kathmandu, nuns get almost equal education opportunities as monks, which is still very special. By the constant flow of refugees from Tibet in the monastery there is overpopulation. Many nuns are sick. Urgent help is needed for living, health and construction.
We also need sponsors for refugees and sick nuns. (For more info: click here)
Our project to treat all the nuns with Helicobacter Pylori contamination has succesfully ended! The project has been taken over by students of the De Novembre Course 2011 and now there is enough money to treat all nuns and even all monks of Kopan!
We now ask your support for the Tara Temple in Sarnath (India).This is a section of the nunnery in Sarnath in India. The building is given tot the nunnery and in this temple on this sacred place, 15 nuns perform Tara Puja's daily. The circumstances are primitive and in dire need for improvement.
